Well, I promise that I’m serious about moving onto other things for my Monday posts (I have at least one idea I like quite a lot). At the same time, I felt I really needed to re-scan the earlier ones from my family’s 1959 trip through South Dakota and Wyoming as a personal project — and the results are so […]
Shore fishing at Folsom Lake, 1988 — I’ve pretty nearly run through my collections of old slides and prints that I’ve been using in this Monday series, which is a shame because I’ve really enjoyed looking back. I’m still playing with the idea of re-scanning some of the earlier slides and sharing them again in their improved condition. Or maybe […]
I did not have a very productive weekend this week, so today I’m sharing a few random images from the slide collection. The most interesting thing to me about the church ground-breaking pictures (besides the old cars) is the almond orchard visible in the background. Most of the trees are long gone, but they once covered the entire area, including […]
I’m still going through boxes of slides, finding many that I’ve already scanned but also a few that managed to slip past me before. Even some of those I previously scanned with my old scanner are sitting unused on my computer, often because I wasn’t happy with the image quality. I guess being disorganized does have a few advantages, after […]
Just when I was sure I had run out of old photos to share, I happened to find a few more slides in the box that I somehow managed to overlook before. Most are from the 1960s and 1970s, but I don’t have a lot of information about any of them.
Memory Monday is on a break this week! See you soon with more family memories. In the meantime, here are a couple of slides from the spring of 1953 showing my eldest sister in front of our grandparents’ house.
August 2000 — This is the last bunch of photos from our day at Shell Beach. Just before heading home around noon, we made a brief stop at this entrance to the Kortum Trail. I’m not sure we actually hiked it that day; we may have been hurrying to miss the rush-hour traffic going home, since this was a Thursday […]
August 2000 — Yet another ocean trip, this one an overnight stay. Our lodgings were at the River’s End, a rustic-looking restaurant and string of cabins all perched on the cliffs near Jenner. I was disappointed to find the cabin had no phone and no TV; but it did have a wide balcony, a wonderful picture window looking out over […]
Last Monday I concluded my tale of our overnight trip to the coast in July 1998; this week I’m continuing the ocean theme with photos from the impulsive day trip I took with the Big Guy back in August 1999. Yes — we drove more than 200 miles round trip in a single day just for the brief chance to […]
